Who We Are

The Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) established under an agreement between the Governments of India and the United States of America in March 2000, is an autonomous, bilateral organization jointly funded by both the Governments that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Innovation through substantive interaction among government, academia and industry. The Department of Science & Technology, Government of India and the U.S. Department of State are the respective nodal departments.

Vision

Excellence in Science, Technology and Innovation space through collaborative initiatives between India and the United States of America.

Mission

Act as a catalyst to promote long-term scientific collaborations between India and the U.S. through partnerships amongst individual scientists, scientific institutions and the scientific community at large.

Establish platforms and mechanisms to connect the S&T eco-systems of both the countries to act as a fertile ground to foster individual and institutional partnerships in a natural and sustainable manner.

United State Science and Technology Endowment Fund

The governments of the United States of America (through the Department
of State) and India (through the Department of Science & Technology)
have established the United States–India Science & Technology
Endowment Fund (USISTEF) for the promotion of joint activities that
would lead to innovation and entrepreneurship through the application of
science and technology.

The vision and mission of SPARK is to create a virtual-seamless network of IUSSTF stakeholders across India and the United States. This unique platform will enable Members to establish new connections, explore new opportunities, have creative discussions about topical issues, and build a committed transatlantic grid of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs. At the same time, it will allow IUSSTF to re-establish and re-affirm our ties with our valued stakeholders/patrons
